Back of the DVD Recorder
The back of your recorder
might look a little overwhelming at first.This section explains what goes where and wh)_There are two sets of jacks on the
back of your DVD Recorder m INPUT jacks and OUTPUT
iacks.
Each jack is explained
individually below, but the basic idea is about sending and receiving information to be played on or through
your
DVD
Recorder
and displaying that information on your TV screen.We
calJ it Signal Plow.
INPUT
The cables connected
to INPUT iacks bring the signal that carries the content
iNTO the DVD Recorder, such as the cable signal
(programming)
from the cable company or satellite programming
from a s=teUite receiver.
OUTPUT
The cables connected
to the OUTPUT
jacks are sending the signal from the DVD Recorder
to the TV so you can see it on the
screen.The
correct
cables must be connected
to the DVD Recorder's
Ou_ut
jacks and the corresponding
Input Jacks on the TV so you can see
the program on the TV

(OPTICAL
and COAXIAL):
Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD Recorder to a Do,by Digital or DTS receiver or
decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL
or OPTICAL
type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical
and coaxial connections work equally well -- the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
Rare_y,but sometimes, coaxial digital cables -- especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference
from household appliances,nearby power
lines, and/or broadcast towers. _fyou want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXtAL
jack if your receiver has a Coaxial
input jack.
